COMING FALL 2025

John Little and John Foster have long been icons in the craft distilling world. Friends for many years before there was any thought to making spirits, the duo’s official partnership began with the founding of Smooth Ambler, a brand that became the gold standard for authenticity and straight-shooting about what craft whiskey could be - and should be - producing spirits with passion and with equal respect for tradition and the unorthodox. Together, they built a reputation for creating exceptional whiskeys that earned the admiration of whiskey lovers and industry heavyweights everywhere.

Now, the pair again feel a powerful calling to embark on a new adventure. With a wealth of experience and an unwavering love for unparalleled whiskey, they launch Little & Foster Whiskey Company.

At the heart of Little & Foster is the commitment to handcrafting small-batch whiskeys that are as distinctive and genuine as the two men behind the brand. John Little and John Foster are driven by a relentless pursuit of quality, flavor, uniqueness, and connection. All these things are rooted in their deep-held belief that the best whiskey is made with time, patience, and passion.

Little & Foster isn’t just another whiskey company or independent bottler. It’s an extension of a friendship and a passion for creating something not just truly extraordinary, but something deserving of being shared proudly with everyone from your oldest friend to your most recent acquaintance. Simply put, Little and Foster reflects the journey of John and John - from the first expression of Smooth Ambler to the new chapter they write together in the big, beloved book of craft whiskey.
